Cemetery of San Prospero (Sassuolo, Italy)

It was projected by Giovanni Lotti (1806-1881), is located in the historical center of the city e was dismessed in 1982.

The historical and artistical features and the presence of valuable ceramic manufactures realised in the 19th century include it in the most interesting cemeteries in the district.
